Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or BJJ is a martial art based on grappling and ground fighting, focusing on the skill of controlling one’s opponent through techniques that force him or her to submit. It prides itself in being known as the “gentle art”, allowing a smaller, weaker person to use leverage and submissions (chokes, locks) to defend himself against a bigger opponent. With origins in Judo and Japanese Jujutsu, it has since been adapted and modified by Helio Gracie and his family to become the martial art it is today.

The owner- Hughie Meehan, known as "Coach" or "Instructor" Hughie has been training in the art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) since 2008 and has earned his black belt. His journey in the martial arts began over 20 years ago where he trained and competed as an amateur kickboxer. Years later, he studied the arts of Kenpo and Krav Maga. But, it wasn't until 2008 when he found his love for BJJ. He began in Pa. at a school under the Gracie Humaita lineage of Master Royler Gracie and Professors Regis Lebre and Joel Goldberg. In 2016, Coach Hughie and two friends opened a gym in Pa where he was responsible for training youth and adult BJJ. Now, in 2020, his passion for coaching both youth and adult BJJ has led him to return to his roots and open his own BJJ gym in Rising Sun MD. Inversion Brazilian Jiu- Jitsu is under the original Royler Gracie lineage and is dedicated to teaching self-defense and Jiu- Jitsu in the pure and original Gracie Jiu Jitsu style.

Inversion: Creating a situation when someone or something has become the compete opposite of what it once was.
Our colors are red, black and white. The colors represent blood, sweat and tears respectively. Throughout your Jiu Jitsu journey, you will begin to have a better understanding of our logo. The Gracie triangle represents the mind, body and spirit as well as a solid foundation. Imagine a three dimensional triangle (a pyramid) no matter what side it is on- it will have a solid base. The Inversion logo consists of two triangles; one larger and in the forefront and the other is smaller and in the background. The larger of the two represents who we have become- A new and improved version. The smaller triangle represents who we used to be. However, just as the two triangles are drawn with on line, we are connected to our past and it will always remain a part of us. We must continue to train and fight to stay ahead at all times.
